Hackers breached Lara and Tiffany Trump's X accounts to push a suspicious crypto project, prompting Eric Trump to denounce the posts as a scam.

You should Hackers targeted the X accounts of Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, and his daughter, Tiffany Trump, on Tuesday to promote a questionable cryptocurrency associated with World Liberty Financial. The Trump family had recently shown support for this crypto initiative.

Lara Trump, who serves as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee, and Tiffany Trump both had their accounts compromised.

Eric Trump swiftly responded to the situation, calling out the fraudulent posts. “This is a scam!!!” he warned on X. “@LaraLeaTrump and @TiffanyATrump’s Twitter profiles have been hacked!!” He later praised X for securing the accounts and removing the misleading content.

World Liberty Financial also confirmed the breach on their X account. Both hacked posts were tied to World Liberty Financial, a project that has been generating significant attention but is still in its pre-launch phase. Donald Trump and his sons have been hinting at the impending launch of this DeFi project for weeks.

Details about the project have recently surfaced, indicating that it will operate on the Ethereum blockchain, drawing inspiration from Aave with a structure similar to Dough Finance.

Dough Finance, known for its lending and borrowing features, suffered a security breach in early July, resulting in a $2.1 million loss due to flash loans.

It remains uncertain whether World Liberty will face the same security issues as Dough Finance. The connection to Dough Finance extends beyond technical similarities.

According to a whitepaper for World Liberty, Chase Herro, a prominent crypto influencer, is leading data and strategy efforts for the project. Interestingly, Herro’s Instagram was previously linked to Dough Finance.
